Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] coredump: escape / in hostname and comm

Jiri,

I would like to suggest that both '%e' and '%E' use current->group_leader->comm
instead of just current->comm.

Using plain current->comm gets strange effects when threads within a process
start naming themselves using PR_SET_NAME (or its pthread_setname_np() equivalent).

Earl
